Weather in that part of the world can be changeable at this time of the year.
The Bay of Biscay dominates the weather in that part of France and Spain so the weather can be unpredictable. I would suggest bringing plenty of rain gear with you just in case.
Wind and rain can be a factor if the weather turns bad in that neck of the woods.
Two weeks should be ample time to complete the Camino by bike.
Are you staying in traditional accommodation or are you staying in hotels/hostels close to the route?
Navarra is great city to go to explore. The old town is lovely but it get very quiet at night time. If you are staying in Navarra stay in the modern part because it's busier and more lively.
Burgos and Leon are the other two major cities that you will pass through if you take the Camino Frances route : again like Navarra the same thing applies to both cities.
